The double winner of the Spanish Open BBT Marathon and the Ultramarathon Master 60 in 2021, Manuel Garc\u00eda, has once again climbed to the top of the podium in 2022 after he was proclaimed Spanish Cup Champion in the XCUM Master 60 cycling category.<\/p>\n
Manuel Garc\u00eda, member of the Moj\u00e1car club \u201cLos Saltapitas\u201d, has yet another year shown himself to be unbeatable on a mountain bike, as well as having physical strength and perfect preparation.<\/p>\n
Following two trial classifications in Ja\u00e9n and Galicia, it was finally in Ejulve, Arag\u00f3n, where Manuel Garc\u00eda was proclaimed champion of Spain.<\/p>\n
The route proposed by the organisation was especially tough:160 kilometres and a 4,500 elevation. The demands of the route made his victory even more praiseworthy.<\/p>\n
The XCUM category corresponds to the acronym of Cross Country Ultra Marathon, an especially rigorous trial staged on longer routes than other mountain bike categories.<\/p>\n
Our champion always dedicates special words to his \u201csaltapitas\u201d companions, as it is with them that he always trains and with whom he began his competition journey.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cthe Moro track\u201d and the climb to \u201cEl Jal\u00ed\u201d were of great help to him in this latest trial in which he was declared champion as \u201cthey were very similar.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the competition season ends, it is easy to spot him, along with his fellow \u201csaltapitas\u201d cyclists, riding all the trails in Moj\u00e1car and Sierra Cabrera. According to Manuel Garc\u00eda, perseverance is very important to have excellent physical shape, which helps when it comes to tackling these exhaustive competitions.<\/p>\n
In a week he will start with his cardio-vascular exercises to \u201ctrain the heart\u201d, and then he will get back out on his bike again to \u201cdo some kilometres.\u201d<\/p>\n
Manuel Garc\u00eda wants to highlight, once again, that he carries \u201ca saltapitas in his soul\u201d. \u00a0He was virtually one of the founders, nearly 15 years ago. This club has been the springboard and the motivation for dedicating himself to this sport, in which in the 10 years since he started to \u201cseriously\u201d compete in the Spanish championship he has achieved third position in two seasons, runner-up on another occasion, two years champion in the BBT category, and now champion once again in an even more difficult trial, as the ultra-marathon is.<\/p>\n
On the horizon for 2023, Manuel Garc\u00eda has another challenge: the European and the World Championships.<\/p>\n
There is still no set calendar for either event, but Manuel is now back out on his mountain bike, riding around the landscapes of Moj\u00e1car so that, when the time comes, he will again show that in his category it is not going to be easy to leave him behind.<\/p>\n
